It's been the best!!! So much fun!

Appreciate the education! Love us some speckled rockfish apparently 🤣👊

That wasn't Duane, he's a great fisherman for sure! It was my buddy Billy K in his Freeman. He came over to take some photos and videos for us. We had a great season and are thankful for it! Looking forward to more in the seasons to come.

Make sure you come by one of the booths at the trade shows and say hello so we can have a real conversation about this. Bring some tissues for me.

Long Beach sir.

Hey Tyler! Hope you're doing well man! Tuna season is a wrap for 2024 but we are already booking trips for 2025. If you're interested in booking the entire boat or want to try and jump on one of our Open Party dates let me know! We got the gyros covered... [email protected]

7 day trip! That's going to be epic!!! we were using this rod - St Croix RIFT SALT SPINNING 7'10" Heavy Moderate Fast bit.ly/3ZibZOB I'd go the next size up, 40-120lb rating for the ability to handle the 100-150lb class of fish you may encounter. These fish were 40-80lbs with a few breaking 100 so we didn't need the heavier gear on this particular day.

Would love to have you out my man!!!

@@OliverNgy​​⁠I am sure my pinoy family will have a reason sooner than later 🤫🎣

We used the new Quantum Benchmark 8000 & Shimano Stella 14000 this day.

Nice. What one do you prefer?

@nickn257 either have been great for us this season. You can buy 4 Benchmarks for the price of one Stella.

It's still very new to plenty of people that have never done it, but much respect for being an OG

We usually bring no bait of any kind of these trips

@@OliverNgy Is it easier to catch fish with squid and shrimp?

@MikeChen-1992 it is messier, a much bigger hassle and the amount of tiny fish you have to weed through is annoying. We busted their asses with the jigs in an effective and more importantly FUN manner. Fishing isn't about just catching fish for the sake of catching fish for me. It's about HOW we want to go about catching them and the experience building up to it. No dis to anybody that fishes bait though, we've all done it.

@@OliverNgy how to use jig for fishing?just make it to the bottom then wait bait?

@MikeChen-1992 watch the video, you can watch how we use them.

I'll have to give that a shot, thanks for the tip! Here's a question I need to ask though, and please do not take this as an attack. Why would be fishing an area that isn't target rich? Keep in mind even in these target rich areas, I am able to generate bites when others in the boat cannot until I elaborate on these specific presentations. Every day, every spot, every drop and every fish responds different. That's what I love most about Jigging. The creativity we can impart.

@ Not taking it as an attack at all, and a good question. You should always strive for a target rich environment - but the second part of my sentence is the key - with "willing participants." Sometimes your machine will be lit up with lock-jawed fish, and getting them to bite when they don't want to can be tough. What I'm seeing in the presentation here is that the rod is overloaded, and not fully able to unload/get maximum action on the jig. Oftentimes the retrieve is what triggers their interest, the fall often triggers the bite. Here, when you showed the technique of kind of violently lifting the rod a couple times, you can see that the tip never unloads. Check out some vids of either me, or Chad Busiere to see what I mean in terms of the unloading part. I love the enthusiasm and the passion you're bringing to SPJ on the West Coast. With this tip I'm hopefully pointing you in the right direction to keep progressing. Tight lines

Dana, newport and long beach

I'd highly suggest these hooks from JYG - bit.ly/4ft1qgL Size is dependent on the jig size but I go as big as I can!

We've caught them on several colors including orange, pink, chartreuse. Action of the jig is probably more important than the color at the depths we are targeting them at. Anything with Glow to it gives me confidence.

It's an INTRO. There is no music throughout the actual video 😐

It's two vermillion per person. Red snapper is not the correct term but is frequently used.

@OliverNgy Thanks. I'll educate the deck hands next time. 😀

@HHplayground please do. I was a deckhand many moons ago. Most of them are mis-informed on most things 🤗

Glad you enjoyed the video! We fish both those models and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to grab the Piscifun models. That's the truth!

We've been using ocean legacy, gan craft, and Maxel slow pitch rods. JYG rods are next. Haven't used either temple reef or the phenix models yet.

Email me for details, as I offer too many options to list here. [email protected]

We love it now! Haha

I was able to reload my stock of Ocea Legacy jigs at Sav On Tackle myself recently! Glad you were able to score some. The jigs have been getting bit very well for us!

I have everything we used listed in the description for you 👊

@@OliverNgy thanks bro 👊🏾

Great question! Growing up fishing and working on sport boats, I personally became comfortable using a standard gaff.

@@OliverNgy I’ve wondered that my whole life, I’ve used a flying gaff on big tuna and threshers from a private boat. It’s so much safer and so easy to bleed over the side. Less holes in the good meat on the fish too.

Thanks buddy, let's get you a bigger one in 2025!

Damn rubber bands are stronger than advertised lol. You're right on digging for gaff shots, even when I tell people not to do it, they can't help themselves 🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

Email me for details [email protected]

They use a fish descender

please email me for booking information [email protected]

You cannot keep this species.

Lingcod
